Type error when importing docx in CJS file with TypeScript moduleResolution set to node16

[danewilson]

Attempting to import anything from docx when using CommonJS using TypeScript when moduleResolution is node16 results in a type error like:

TS1479: The current file is a CommonJS module whose imports will produce 'require' calls; however, the referenced file is an ECMAScript module and cannot be imported with 'require'.

This is because you haven't specified a CJS type declaration file. This tool explains the issue well, and also the solution.

Isn't it specified here?
